# Welcome to Bito

[**Bito**](https://bito.ai/) provides the context layer your engineering workflow is missing. It works across the entire software development lifecycle, from planning in Jira to generating code in your coding agent, and across your Git provider for codebase-aware code reviews.

Bito's [**AI Architect**](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/overview) builds a knowledge graph of your codebase (from repos to modules to APIs) and operational history from Jira (capturing past decisions, incident patterns, and system behavior). This gives your team a shared, always-current understanding of the system, and makes that understanding available wherever engineering decisions are made:

* [**In issue trackers (Jira)**](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/guide-for-jira) for feasibility analysis, technical design, and cross-repo impact assessment.
* [**In coding agents**](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/quick-mcp-integration-with-ai-coding-agents) (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and more) for grounded code generation, accelerated onboarding, and production issue triage.
* [**In pull requests**](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview) (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) for codebase-aware AI code reviews.

### AI Architect

**Installation:**

* [Bito-hosted](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/installation/install-ai-architect-bito-hosted) (Fully managed by Bito — no infrastructure setup required)
* [Self-hosted](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/installation/install-ai-architect-self-hosted) (Run AI Architect on your own infrastructure for maximum control)

**Integrate with your tools:**

* [Jira](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/guide-for-jira)
* [Coding agents via MCP](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/quick-mcp-integration-with-ai-coding-agents)
* [AI Code Review Agent](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/integrating-ai-architect-with-ai-code-review-agent)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### AI Code Review Agent

* [Use in Git](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview) (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
* [Use in IDE](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-ide/overview) (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, JetBrains)
* [Use in CLI](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-reviews-in-cli/overview) (integrates seamlessly with AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and others.)
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

## Key capabilities of the AI Architect

* **Technical design and planning** — AI Architect analyzes your Jira tickets and posts a complete implementation plan directly in comments section: feasibility assessment, story breakdown, effort estimates, risk flags, and dependency mapping.
  * [**Watch demo video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLik7gCd2iI)
* **Grounded 1-shot production-ready code** — The AI Architect learns all your services, endpoints, code usage examples, and architectural patterns. The agent automatically feeds those to your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, any MCP client) to provide it the necessary information to quickly and efficiently create production ready code.
  * [**Watch demo video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yx_FfDsYco)
* **Consistent design adherence** — Code generated aligns with your architecture patterns and coding conventions.
* **Spec-driven development** — Automatically generate highly detailed, implementation-ready technical requirement documents (TRDs) and low-level designs (LLDs) with a deep, context-aware understanding of your codebase, services, and design patterns, ensuring architectural integrity and consistency at a granular level.
  * [**Watch demo video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMmZbbZUcq0)
* **Triaging production issues** — Easily and quickly find root causes to production issues based on errors/logs/etc.
  * [**Watch demo video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05-2hKcaZKk)
* **Faster onboarding** — New engineers or AI agents can quickly understand how a system or component system structure.
* **Enhanced documentation and diagramming** — Through its internal understanding of interconnections between modules and APIs.
* **Smarter code reviews** — Reviews with system-wide awareness of dependencies and impacts.
